05 Mustang V6 Premium

[mikeroc283]

So im trading in the 02 sport for a 05 mustang v6 premium. Car has 49k on it and was 1 owner. I like the color, the car was clean and something ive actually wanted for a long time. With the payments im going to be making little if any mods will be done till i get a better spot in the store i work at. The 02 was about to cost me alotttttt of money with the transmission needing changing and the manifold nearly choking me on the exhaust fumes it let in the car. Going to really need to be careful with this on.

when you sell the 87, just sock that money away for just in case with this one.

I love legend lime. Rare color. Nice ride!

Not bad, I know a guy with one and he's got a few mods like plasti-dipped 17" Bullitt wheels, GT fog lights, plasti-dipped black stock spoiler (car is dark red), GT rear bumper, CAI, Magnaflow cat back duals and SCT tuner. It's decently quick, but I can't get excited over it. My brother's stock '12 3.7 walks it without trying and gets better mileage.

If I were you, I'd try to get an '11-up, the engine is so much better even stock, and they have a 6spd, in auto too if you want auto. It has 2.73 gears standard for better mileage and the extra power makes up for it. You can have the previous 3.31 gears with the Performance Package, which a friend of mine has with the GT suspension and brakes, all making it a real fun car.

I really want to drive the new Ecoboost Performance Package, I bet it handles awesome being so light in front. My friend's V6 Performance Pack beats GT's on a road course, having better weight distribution and less overall weight. The intake/headers/exhaust and custom tune help too.

I cant go any newer i was barely able to get this one. Payment, insurance and phone will take 90% of my pay each month if i dont get alot of hours.

I've had jobs where they won't give many hours, sometimes because they want you to quit. Best to get out of that soon as you can, better to have a job where they want you working more hours than you want, OT is your friend.

If you live by yourself, see if you qualify for food stamps. With how expensive grocery store prices are, they've raised the amount you can make to qualify.

i work at autozone and max hours for part time is 25 per week

I understand the appeal of a new car, especially when the one you have needs work.
But I would think very carefully before getting into a car payment and phone that could cost me 90% of my monthly income!!
Car payments get old real fast and the regret last a long time.
And for a fraction of what you'll end up spending on payments I expect you can get a dozen transmissions rebuilt and replace the
manifold. Plus make any mods you want to the sport.
I would fix the 02 CV and stay debt free.
I've seen many guys go down this road and be sorry later, be carefull.
Of course my advice is worth exactly what you paid for it!
Good Luck!

Nice car. Many of people getting jobs now only get 30 hours or less. ( we all know why this has happened) It is so important to become debt free. If you have a loan, pay more on principal each month. You might have to find a second job.
I feel for people who have kids and the expenses that go with them. Wish you the best.
